NOTES ON PROGRAMMING
MUSEUM TECHNOLOGY CONTROL
UNITS WITH A WINDOWS BASED PC
All versions of Windows contain a terminal program, HYPERTERMINAL, which
works quite well for programming Museum Technology control units, such as HD
and DVD (and also VDC controllers when being used with a long-play video disc
or a Sony player).
If you are using Windows 98 or XP, from the START menu (lower left of screen
usually), go to the PROGRAMS menu, then to the ACCESSORIES menu, then to
COMMUNICATIONS, then to HYPERTERMINAL.
If you are using Windows 95, the steps are the same, except there is no COMMU-
NICATIONS menu. Go directly to HYPERTERMINAL from ACCESSORIES.
Double click on the HYPERTERM.EXE icon (may just say HYPERTRM). The pro-
gram will open with a NEW CONNECTION dialogue box which asks you to enter
a name and select and icon. Enter the name of the product you are about to pro-
gram, such as DVD-204. The choice of icon is immaterial. Click OK.
The next dialog box will ask for a phone number. Go to the fourth box down,
CONNECT USING, and select DIRECT TO COM1 (This assures that COM1 Port
is free on your machine. Sometimes the internal modem occupies this position. If
this is the case, select COM2). Click OK.
The next dialog box is entitled PORT SETTINGS. Use the following settings for
all DVD Controllers:
Baud 9600
Data Bits 8
Parity None
Stop Bits 1
Flow Control None
Note: For the LT-12, use a Baud setting
For HD-204 and HD-212 Adtec Hard Disc Controllers the Baud Rate is
38,400
